Memories Monday (by Jennifer)

These pictures were taken last year in August. We went with the the oldest 4 in the Penner family. Dad and Rebecca's Dad took us to the game.

So much has changed since then!

Joshua and Rebecca had just started courting.

The Bombers lost that game to the Montreal Allouetts but we had a amazing time anyway :)

Joshua and Ryan still crazy about the bombers

Butchering Chickens (by Meg)

This morning we finished the last 13 of 70 chickens. ( trust me that was exciting:)
So here is a little photo journal of the morning.
First we pick out the chicken.
Then you've got to catch it!
Zachary hugging the chicken good-bye:)

Then the chicken gets handed off me :)

I get the lovely job of holding the chicken while...

Caleb chops the head off! ( this was set up:)

Jesse + Nathan bring the chickens from the

butchering block to the.....

Plucking table

Kerri and Jennifer are the official pluckers.

Then over to wash them.

Josh and Rebecca where helping today so they took over my job of washing so I could be a full time "chicken holder while the head is chopped off" ( isn't that just so sweet of them?)

Mom takes all the guts out, cuts them up, weighs and bags them.

After were all done the kids look like this:)

The happy bunch.
